Anyone else getting a Paris Olympics massive push for the one thing Novak doesn’t have and then Au Revoir to tennis? Starting to get Sampras 2002 vibes. Still have him in the favourite category for RG and Wimbledon but to be this great for so long takes incredible sacrifice.
"Starting to get Sampras 2002 vibes": Tennis commentator predicts Novak Djokovic's retirement date

Serbia’s tennis legendary Novak Djokovic star suffered another
shocking result in Rome Open. The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest
player in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24
Grand Slam titles.
Djokovic is having a tough 2024 season where he is yet to play
in the final of any event. That streak continued in Rome where he suffered a
shocking exit after losing to Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo in the round of 32 of
the mega-event in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-3.
Former tennis player and now a commentator Mark Petchey, in
a post on his official account on the social media platform, stated that watching
Djokovic is giving him similar vide to that of Pete Sampras back in 2002.
“Anyone else getting a Paris Olympics massive push for the
one thing Novak doesn’t have and then Au Revoir to tennis? Starting to get Sampras 2002 vibes. Still have
him in the favourite category for RG and Wimbledon but to be this great for so
long takes incredible sacrifice,” he wrote. Interestingly, Sampras went on to
win the US Open in 2002 which also proved to be the last mega-event she participated
in.
